So. I finally got some implants. 2 of em. A few days ago. Like, they’re healing great, and everything is rad, but it’s clear they’re still fresh because the bruising is still slightly visible, so to say I’m new at this would be an understatement.

YET, I’m already thinking "Ok, how many more can I get away with while still leaving room for an Apex when that comes out, and wtf would I use them for.

I was warned about this problem, and I accept it… but like… damn it brain, just like chill for a few weeks at least, geez!

Yeah, like I wasn’t expecting it to be hugely painful or anything, but I think there was something deep in the back of my mind like “just get these done and if it sucks, it’s fine”, but then I got them, and since all uncertainty is gone, it’s more like “yeah, this a thing I can do all the damn time. No problem at all, let obsession fully take hold”, which sort of releases the kraken, so to speak…

Nice. I was super conflicted about just putting in the LED at the same time as the NExT, and basically as soon as I left was like “damn it, should have just done it” haha. oh well. it’ll get in soon enough!

I am very very concerned about this. I already feel addicted and I don’t have any in yet. When my flexEM gets here that will be 6 in line for implantation… and I have like 4 others that I am thinking about… and the apex line is not even out yet…

I got my first implant in summer 2017. About two weeks later. I love to get an other one or maybe more…
Must wait for February 2018 and then I got the flexNT and magnet - a few days later the xEM.
Then it starts… I want more…

At the moment I have 18 RFIDs and 2 magnets.

Chip #19 is at home - must wait to get it implanted.
Chip #20 planned - must order it…

with 18 chips and 2 magnets what do you use them for???
i have 5 chips at present and i’m already thinking of removing the xNT and xEM chips from my left hand and replacing them with a NeXT chip so that i have the ability to use either hand for the same tasks. i’m currently using my NeXT in my right hand and the xEM in my left hand for starting my motorcycle

This chip was a very special one, I got it implanted in TV. Damn it that it stopped working. Removing the chip - it got more broken - the glass got some scratches - so it wasn’t possible to find the error.
After that I decided - I would never remove a chip again.

i’m currently thinking about removing both the xNT and xEM chips in my left hand so that i can upgrade them to a NeXT chip

This isn’t really an upgrade - more like a cross grade. The NExT is basically an xNT and xEM in one bit of glass instead of two. With the two tags you should be able to do all the same things as you can with a NExT so unless I’m missing something you don’t really gain anything by doing this
